Photo Update!

Wow, a week and a half with no blogging, haha. OK, I've FINALLY got all my images for the last month on my computer and can start processing!!!!  Whooo hooo!!!  It's been a crazy few weeks... So first I've got my two paid sessions to process packaged and delivered, then I can start working on my freebie photo shoots (family portraits, Dallin's Sr. Portraits, a couple from Sam's Endowment night, and the Gilberts), and a few tries for Michael's First grade portrait, and Aiden's 4 year old portrait.  Some other highlights, Nate returning, Sunrise over Mt. Timpanogos, Zoo trips, seeing David and Amanda, hmm what else?  I guess it's a surprise, LOL! A few quick previews before I dive off the net and into these projects~ Do you think she…

Back to Normal

Me
Things are getting back to normal.  Well sorta...  We had a minivan over the weekend, a 2008 Toyota Sienna.  We took the car in for warranty work, and while we were car-less they offered us a car, since they didn't have a comparable vehicle with enough seats, we ended up with a minivan that, oddly enough, had only 23 miles on it.  We logged more than 200...  LOL!  We had a great time with that.  We're really hoping to get a van when we can now. Yesterday as I went to pick up Michael, Aiden was whining for a lemon drop since I'd left them in the cup holder.  I kept hearing "sour lemon head DROP!"  "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!"  "Lemonade!"  "Sour Lemonade!?"  Of course I didn't cave, I don't give candy to…

Highlights of our Utah Trip

Me
Joey~ He cut his first tooth that he's been trying to cut for about 2 1/2 months, on the flight up... Was separated from me for the longest time yet. Tried formula, and wanted nothing of it. Tried a lot more table food, and didn't do too great, after a few days up there, I had to limit his diet to only my milk and food marketed as baby food, he soon did much better. Really cruising and trying to walk. He got his first ear infection on the flight home. Aiden~ Drove everyone crazy.  He's a hard kid anyway, but take away his normal boundaries, schedule, and have everyone trying to discipline him with different methods, and he's a holly terror. Knocked his head HARD on brick during family…

Visiting Graves

Grief and Loss
I had a chance to visit 4 graves that I hadn't been to before a couple nights ago.   My Uncle Lorin's grave, who died on my 25th birthday, his two children's graves who'd died at birth due to the same kidney problems that took his life, I'd been to their graves before, but they'd been moved when Lorin died to all be together.  His oldest son announced their first baby about the same time he passed, and their baby is just a couple weeks younger than Joey, so he missed holding his first grandchild by just a few months.  His sweet wife Aunt Analee, seems to be doing pretty well, I love her and wish her the best. I also visited Paula's grave for the first time.  It was…

Utah Trip Update

So, in case that didn't make any sense, I had 5 teeth majority worked on here. Two root canals, and a tooth pulled on Wednesday with a bone graft for a future implant. On Thursday I went back for two more root canals, but once they'd cleared the decay, we realized there wasn't enough left the save the teeth. So those two were pulled as well and I got bone grafts there too. So yeah. I'm in less pain now than before, but still plenty of pain. So, on Tuesday we flew in. We got in at noon and ran to temple square and to get some supplies for my family. By 4 we picked up Nate. That was wonderful! Everyone was filled with joy and excitement to all be…

In Utah

Me
So, we're in Utah! We flew in on Tuesday at lunch time, and picked up my brother at four.  Nate, my brother has just returned from a two year mission in Guatemala for our church.  We've had so much fun smoothering him ever since!  I took probably 400 photos. So once I get a chance to edit them be ready for mega picture overload, and it won't stop till we've been home a couple weeks. Yesterday I finally went into the dentist.....  .. . .  Stonehaven Dental in Lehi Utah, AWESOME PLACE!  I cannot give them enough praise, they're awesome.  BUT you know my dental fears.   They were so nice, and once I finally got in the chair, things couldn't have gone better.  Before that I was a nervous wreck though.…

Huh?

Me
Don't know what compeled me to post that, probably the pain killers....  I'll be getting a tooth extraction Wednesday morning, and the antiobiotics kicked in yesterday, but I still find myself in severe pain a few times a day.
